Jovial joined the furry fandom in early 2011. Jovial derives from the English word "jovial", meaning cheerful, happy, and friendly. Being mononymous, Jovial has no last name, though is sometimes unofficially referred to as Jovial Skunk, or Jovial Mephit. He was introduced to the furry fandom via the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom, briefly having been a skunk-colored pony, before officially leaving the brony community in late 2012. He has been a standard striped skunk since.

Despite being a skunk, Jovial almost never bears the foul smell expected from a skunk, tending to keep it to himself, though he is still capable. He is highly introverted, often keeping to a small pool of familiar friends, and shy around strangers. While he tends to be a skunk of few words, he can be very affectionate and friendly if he feels comfortable around others, and highly values friendship. Some tend to look at him as more of a "striped cat" than a skunk.

His appearance is that of a short 4 feet, 6 inches (1.37 meter) anthropomorphic skunk, being slightly chubby at 92.5 pounds (42 kilograms) covered with mostly black fur, with a white underbelly. Two similarly white stripes run down his back to the tip of his tail, his hair also white, with two deep blue eyes and white facial markings. His tail is rather large, pointing upwards with his back, unlike other species whose tails tend to hang downwards with their legs.
